GP care for tourists, visitors and London residents
What can our GPs help with?
A GP is a doctor who assesses and treats a wide range of everyday health problems. Book a one-off appointment for the concerns below, or to discuss an existing condition or treatment question.
- Feeling unwell away from home
See a GP for assessment, advice and treatment for common problems such as coughs, sore throats, earache, stomach upsets, urinary symptoms, allergies and skin concerns.
- Run out of your regular medicine?
A GP can assess an urgent repeat prescription request while you are travelling. Bring the original packaging, your prescription or a medication list. Prescribing depends on clinical assessment and UK prescribing rules.
- Does your child need a doctor?
Our GPs also see children. Book an appointment for advice and assessment when your child is unwell. Check the family booking information below for the identification and consent documents to bring.
- Medical certificates, sick notes and referrals
See a GP for medical certificates, sick notes, specialist referrals or a fit-to-fly assessment. Bring any requirements from your employer, airline or insurer. Your GP will assess your needs and provide appropriate documentation; fit-to-fly assessments require a clinic appointment.
- Sexual and women’s health
Speak confidentially with a GP about sexual-health concerns, contraception or women’s health. Your GP can advise on appropriate tests and treatment, including STI testing where needed.
- Mental health and wellbeing
Talk to a GP about anxiety, stress or low mood. Your GP can assess your concerns, discuss treatment options and arrange referrals where appropriate.
Prefer to speak French?
Consult in English, or use free live AI translation if you prefer to speak French. Your appointment is with an English-speaking GP.
For translation in clinic, please choose 25 minutes so we have enough time for your conversation. We cannot offer it in a 15-minute clinic appointment. Translation is also available in 15-minute video appointments and is always free. You must be in the UK for a video consultation.

Free live AI translation
How AI translation works at your appointment
Your appointment is with an English-speaking GP. You can speak French; the service translates what you say into English for your GP and translates the GP’s English into French for you, in real time. Here’s what to do and what to know before your appointment.
- 1Book the right appointmentFor AI translation in a clinic, book a 25-minute GP appointment. For a video consultation, book a 15-minute GP appointment. Translation is free for both.
- 2Choose your language after bookingAfter you’ve booked and received your confirmation email, sign in to your DocTap account and open your appointment. Select Translation support, choose French, and confirm that you need translation.
- 3Attend or dial into your appointmentFor a video consultation, dial into your appointment using your usual device. For a clinic appointment, attend as normal. Your GP will start the translation. The service translates your French into English for the GP and the GP’s English into French for you.
- 4During your appointmentThe AI translation helps you and your GP understand each other throughout the consultation. For the clearest translation, take turns speaking and let your GP know straight away if anything is unclear or does not sound right.
- 5After your appointmentThe original and translated text is stored with your medical record. Clinical notes, prescriptions, medical letters and test results are provided in English and are not automatically translated. Ask your GP to explain anything you do not understand. If you need translation at a follow-up appointment, tell your GP.

Before you book
Questions about seeing a GP in London
Practical information for French-speaking visitors and residents, from booking your appointment to getting tests or medication.
- Can I book without a UK GP or NHS number?
Yes. Visitors and London residents can book directly without joining an NHS GP practice or changing their usual doctor. An NHS number is not requested in the booking form. Use an email address you can access and a telephone number with its country code; international numbers are supported. If you are visiting, use your hotel or other UK accommodation address, including its postcode. You will still need to provide personal details and relevant medical history. Contact patient support if you need help entering your details.
- Can I walk in, or do I need to book?
Please book an available appointment online before coming to the clinic. You can book a one-off visit without changing your usual doctor or taking out a membership. Same-day appointments are subject to availability; choose your clinic and time before travelling.
- Do you offer evening, weekend or out-of-hours GP appointments?
Yes. DocTap offers evening and weekend GP appointments, with times varying by clinic and day. Check live availability and book before travelling. You can use us for a one-off appointment without joining a GP practice. We do not offer overnight appointments. Weekend consultation prices are shown in the table above.
- Will I see a French-speaking doctor?
Your appointment is with an English-speaking GP. Free live AI translation is available if you prefer to speak French. You are welcome to consult in English. For translation, choose a 25-minute clinic appointment or a 15-minute video appointment. Let your GP know if anything is unclear so you can check it together.
- What is included in the appointment price?
Your fee covers the GP consultation, including prescriptions and standard medical letters issued during the appointment when clinically appropriate. AI translation is free. Medicines, tests and scans are charged separately, and insurer forms have an additional fee. Your GP will explain recommended services and their costs before you decide. Prescriptions or letters requested outside an appointment may incur a charge.
- Can I book for my child?
For children under 16, bring the child’s passport or birth certificate and the accompanying adult’s ID. If the adult is not the parent or legal guardian, bring a signed permission letter from the parent or guardian. Contact patient support before booking if you need help choosing the appointment or meeting these requirements.
- What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring ID and details of your symptoms, allergies and medical conditions, plus any relevant reports. For a medication request, bring the original packaging or a clear prescription showing the medicine, strength and dose. Tell the GP if you are pregnant, may be pregnant, or are leaving the UK soon. If you are bringing a child, check the identification and consent requirements in the family booking answer.
- Can you replace medicine I have run out of while travelling?
A GP can assess an urgent repeat prescription request. Bring your medicine packaging, an existing prescription or a medication list, including the strength and dose. A prescription is not guaranteed: the GP must decide that it is appropriate and safe under UK prescribing rules. Some medicines may need further information, monitoring or specialist care.
- Can I use a prescription from my home country?
Some overseas prescriptions can be dispensed by a UK pharmacy, depending on the country of issue, the medicine and the prescription details. A pharmacist can check whether yours can be accepted; restrictions apply to some medicines. If you need a new prescription, a DocTap GP can assess your request. Prescribing is subject to clinical assessment and is not guaranteed.
- Can I use travel insurance or a European health card?
Pay for your appointment upfront, then submit your own claim to your travel or medical insurer. You can download an invoice from your DocTap account. Check cover, prior authorisation and required documents with your insurer before booking; reimbursement is not guaranteed. Insurer forms have an additional fee. DocTap provides private care, which is not covered by an EHIC. Eligible visitors may use a valid EHIC for medically necessary NHS care during a temporary stay.
- Can I have tests and receive results after leaving London?
Tell your GP your departure date before testing, so you can discuss result times, outstanding results and any further care. You can still access your notes through your DocTap account after leaving the UK. We cannot provide a consultation while you are outside the UK, so agree how any further medical care will be arranged before you leave. Keep your contact details up to date.
- Is DocTap an emergency service?
DocTap is a GP service, not an emergency department. For a life-threatening emergency, call 999 or go to A&E. If you need urgent medical help and are unsure what to do, call NHS 111. You can ask for an interpreter when you call.
